LO from the vendor sites does not know about the location of TDE in /opt.I am guesing. LO has KDE integration package and a Gnome integration package, are they installed or uninstall and test. i.e. libobasis4.3-gnome-integration_4.3.4.1-1_i386.deb libobasis4.3-kde-integration_4.3.4.1-1_i386.deb I use the "Libreoficce Dialogs" -- Peace, Greg
